Building World-Class Infrastructure

The 10MP will continue to focus on the provision of infrastructure to support national growth, while ensuring that it benefits all segments of the people. The implementation of the high-speed broadband project will cover major towns, priority economic growth areas and industrial areas.
This will be complemented with the roll out of the Broadband for General Population, to provide coverage for sub-urban and rural areas. For the rural population, last-mile broadband services will be provided through wireless infrastructure, offering a variety of affordable packages.
The development of a wider and efficient multimodal transport network is also needed to support national growth. Among the major projects being implemented is Phase 2 of the East Coast Expressway from Kuantan to Kuala Terengganu, which will be completed in the plan period at a total cost of RM3.7 billion. This expressway will also be linked to the Kuantan Port, which will be upgraded to spur growth in the east coast. Road network to the hinterlands will also be improved.
Among them are the roads linking Kuala Lipis to Cameron Highlands and Jerantut to Sungai Lembing. In addition, the electrified double track rail project from Gemas to Johor Baru, estimated to cost RM8 billion, will be implemented to complete the electrified double track rail project from Padang Besar in the north to Johor Baru in the south.
Apart from these, will be the construction of sewage treatment plnt using green technology in Lembah Pantai, Kuala Lumpur and at a later stage, similar plants throughout the country.
